The bad news is
The bad news is that the film is far from perfect. "Crystalline" is a whole lot better than "Blood or Death" because the plot is very well developed and the technical aspects are very well developed. In "Crystalline," the scientist is the only one who is able to fix the simple problems that have plagued the young scientist and his daughter. But, the movie is too long, the characters are too small and the plot seems quite confusing.
The bad news is that in the end, he doesn't get the chance to make a movie with such a bad idea. The good news is that he did, and he's a master director. It would have been nice if the director would have made a movie with such a bad idea. I don't know what the film was about, and the director mainly did the movie. If they had had created a movie like this, it would have been a lot better
